Pepê: "We didn't have a good first half" | OneFootball

Pepê, FC Porto forward, spoke to V+’s flash interview after the 2-1 victory against Moreirense:

FC Porto below par in the first half

“It’s a very positive result for us. [Moreirense] is a team that hadn’t lost at home until now, and they’ve been having a great season. We knew how difficult it would be to play against them, but I want to highlight the team’s work. We didn’t have a good first half, but in the second half we were confident in what our objectives were during the game. The guys who came off the bench also came on just to add to the team, and thank God we managed to get a great result here today.”

Group cohesion is crucial for our goals

“We’re very united and that’s something very important. I think it’s fundamental for what our objectives are throughout the season. So we have to keep this up, keep working, stay united and focused because there’s still a lot ahead of us. But we have to approach every game as if it were a final for us.”

Reaction to the Europa League setback

“They’re atypical games, where we couldn’t come out victorious. We know we can’t win every game, but we remain focused on our work, on what the coach asks, and on working day by day. We came here, managed to get the result, and secured the three points.”
